GIVES PRACTICAL HINTS ON
CANNING TOMATOES.
The Tomato a Dainty and Wholesome
Edible- A Word about Nature's
Canning.
Kdi'or County Record:?
At the head of every thing
ra:?ed in garden?, I think tomatoes
wear t!ie crown as an appetizing
and health giving diet,
whether oaten raw, in soups, or in
sauces.'Nothing can lake the place
ct the common tomato sauce
and all know how to cook it.
We should eat less meat and
more tomatoes. Don't lorget to
can them for winter use. 1 -have
known them kept in tin cans cemented
with a wax string. Glass
, jais ;?re familiar to all. 5>om.e
people fail to make them keep,
*av thev have had bad luck: but
t * *
there r.eed be no luck about ii.
The man who transplants his
fruit trees in the spring and has
to water them and beg them to
live; but the man wlio transplants
iti the fall and puts a mutch of
st raw around can just order thorn
to live.
Air seems to contain all the
/
germs ol destruction producing
fermentation. Wood cannot rot
if kept from the air; living thing?
ihtivH on air. animal or veneia
bit-?they canot live without it;
?-lead thing* ferment and decay
in it.
Canned fruit must, be heated
sufficiently to sterilize whatever
air may be in it or about it; and
it i> not enough to put it boiling
hot in the jars and then put on a
cold screw cover contaiuiug cold
air in every crevice; for the germs
ot fermentation thus enclosed will
do their work and not be long about
it. Llave the jar covers in boiling
water and also dip the rubber* in
too. Screw down quickly and keep
in a cool place. And don't forget
to tighten again while cooling,
tor the contents will shrink in
cooling, and cold air will find its
way through the least crevice, for
all know the air is pressed iuto
every opening with a constant
pressure of 2000 pounds on every
loot,of surface.
1 have helped tput up grape
juice fresh Irom the press, "unJennented
wine". Ju>t cork the
bottles, setting ih boiling water
after filling with hot grape juice.'
and keep in a cool place. We J
^ also let some ol the grape juice
start to ferment so as to give it a
sharper taste, and heated and
bottled it in that state lind that
it will keep just as it is put up.
1* o ? ?ro/1 until Anonii/i u. huti if
uiivunii^vu iiuwi \/mvii\.m^ ?will
get up fermentation.
Now Mr. Editor, all this is old
and stale to some, but young foil's;
are coining on and old things'
should be repeated. But the to-J
mato diet is not so old. 1 can le-j
member when they were not so'
common. Some called them love!
apples. But with the generations j
come new dietaries. You know aj
lew generations ago there were no!
'kpearl grists", or "corn bread",J
or potatoes, and no tobacco to:
chew or to smoke, only among the j
Indians. So now it tlie beef!
trusts succeed in making our diet J
more vegetarian, it may prove;
conducive to long lite.
Nov, a word about nature's!
canning. Many of your readers j
have seen the rush-like plant j
that has developed in the dilehes:
j that carry the water lroin many j
of the flowing wells in our county, j
Some call them cat tails, not that
it is a new plant, for there are
^cres of. theip in the marches on
[the coast. Bnt it is new to see
them growing in the up land
ditches. They are seen now in j
the ditch fropi the well at Pros-!
pect, and the McDaniel well, audi
the Jarvo Prosser well in Lakoj
township; aho at Ilinson and at |
J. C. Lvnch's well ditches, asj
well as at other artesian wells. A
small stem runs tip about 5 feet.1
j i!
on me lop 01 wmcn is a seen;
head somewhat like a brown corn
cob; each tiny seed has several
liltie silk-like filaments attached!
and when dried will almost float j
in the air. But while green the:
head is hard and very compact.;
The blades are some S feet long, j
f inch wide, and doubled with air
(cells bet ween. None of them are
[an the swamps around here exjceplafewin
Muddy creek near!
J Ards X Koads.
j Now, Mr. Editor, where did the
[seed come from that grow in these
[upland ditches? Did they come
up 300 leet from below with the i
sand and other things? How did!
they get down there? Did pre-|
j historic earthquakes swallow
dovru portions of the forest an<lj
swamps and perfectly can up,
these seeds before Father Adam's!
I time? no air could penetrate the j
J impervious strata from above, and j
! if it is true as claimed bv rice i
'planters, that rice will lie in the!
mud at the bottom of a canal for 10;
years and grow when thrown out i
jift cleaning tin* canal, then how |
much more perfectly canned up!
would be these little seeds 300
feet below. I have seen it stated
that grains of wheat lay 10001
vears in Egyptian mummies and1
sprouled when planted, but always
thought that a yankee tale.
But, one other species of canning
should claim our attention
since cattle raising is coming to the
lront, to wit; The Silo, where!
green leed is cut and pressed into
a tall, tight building, and weighted
down to exclude the air. Nut
that all air is pressed out either,
but the mass is compressed sufficiently
to prevent any circulation
of air'through it; and, as it i
al wavsjundergoes a heat that sterilizes
the imprisoned air, it will
keep all through winter, with the
exception of a little on the outside
where fresh air gets to it.
Sorry to say no Silos, artesian
wells and cat-tails obtain in
Possum Fork.
The budget of new stories,
good to tell alter dinner, which
Lipincott's Magazine appropriately
calls ''Walnuts and Wine,*' i
is never allowed to flag in inter- j
i est or quality. Month by monjh j
they grow better, and in the Sep-'
teinber number there is uneorn-j
tnon abundance.
Lots ol girls get married merely j
to gratify their curiosity.
